6:03 am
you know apply in the previous year here which are star years and large scale repressions to reach people who will get beaten detained and then this went down to protest this time this doesn't work ahead of an important meeting with russian president vladimir putin on monday because shango is keen to show that the protests were under control but d.c. images show a different reality and now these demonstrations are not only aimed against. but put in as well. i'm worried about russia's intentions to enforce its interests here we have to be friends with russia but it's not good for neighbor encounter to be involved in our internal problems. after the frightening and 10 scenes from earlier in the day the protest turns into a dance festival after marching for more than 2 hours the rally has now arrived at one of the residences of. yeah right in this box but it was just
6:04 am
a courtesy call of the thousands all for a protest. turning around they just wanted to send a message. that they are still here and that they will stay on the streets as long as he remains in office chances are that a decision about the future of look might not be decided here on the streets of belarus but in neighboring russia according to observers since he has put his fate increasingly into put in chance step 5. minutes. the 1st of almost $10000.00 refugees and migrants on the greek island of lesbos being moved into tents after multiple fires swept through their camp but most are demanding to be allowed to be moved to the mainland and on to other european countries stephanie decker reports now from lesbos. there is anonymity in mass human misery but everyone here has a broken dream oh probably was this. one

6:06 am
i started learning english from internet. there is no running water no sanitation they've been setting up tents and tarps woolens since moria camp burnt to the ground almost a week ago thread fiji's of largely been left to fend for themselves the problem is there's a lot of people has like. health condition or they have like a problem with heart with. all of us in the sense of the waste and all of us we are lost we have no idea what to do we just we have to wait there is a new camp it's being set up but only a few 100 people have been transferred so far there are around 12000 that need to be or get tested for the coronavirus before they get allocated a tent there is a real fear that is spreading among the refugees most still remain on the streets in the hills of this island so off to having spent the day here talking to people we just got a phone call that the police had come to evict them because this is private
6:07 am
property now we've been watching people throughout the day picking up tarpaulins whatever they could find some of these nets you can see a mattress here and some of the food handouts just left so again there on the streets yes there are. and you can't that's been set up but by no means is that large enough to house the thousands of people that need shelter we need a group of young men trying to decide where to sleep yanni. where shall we go now we have no idea what our fate will be if we go to meet selena the people don't want us we're not welcome we're displaced once again we will sleep in the orchards what the burning down of your biggest refugee camp has done is reignited the debate and turned the international spotlight back on these forgotten people stephanie decker on lesbos island greece now a veteran u.s. journalist bob woodward has given his 1st televised interview about his new book on the trump presidency he revealed that trump knew of the severity of the coronavirus back in february but downplayed it to the american people mission was made in
6:08 am
a series of recorded interviews woodward spoke to c.b.s. a short time ago this is the tragedy of president of the united states has a duty to warn the public will understand that if they get the feeling that they're not getting the truth then you're going down the pair of deceit in cover did the president ever disclose to you why he wasn't telling the public what the stakes were with the coronavirus so in march i asked exactly that question you know what's going on and the president said well i think really to be honest with you here i want you to i wanted to. i want to show you a flavor i still like playing it down yes because i don't want to create a panic i think he did not understand the american public germ e-mail is from george mason university he doesn't think the latest revelations
6:09 am
will sway president trump's political base. with his supporters i think they will still many of them accept it america is so deeply polarized right now the president trump once said that he could shoot someone in the middle of 5th avenue in new york city and not lose any of his supporters well we're going to test that proposition right now with these revelations because if they are true and the we have the president on tape so we know they're true then some estimates are as high as 80000 americans would be alive today if the president had used the knowledge that he so clearly has so there may be some americans out there who haven't made up their mind between president from and joe biden but there are not many of them and to the extent that this news reaches them i think it plays better for the democrats but the sad truth of this election is that most americans have made up their mind and there's very little that could change someone who's against trump to make them both
6:10 am
warm and there's very little that could change the people who are for trump to make them vote against him. the chinese video sharing app tick-tock has accepted a buyout offer from tech firm oracle it's happened less than a week before president trump threatened the ban unless parent company by sold its u.s. operations well to talk launched in 2017 as the international version of chinese doha in it since wrapped up 2000000000 downloads but it's fallen foul of regulators in several countries as it's become more popular india banned it in june amid tensions over a border skirmish with china and the e.u. xrays privacy concerns in july trump announced he'd shut down tick-tock because of national security concerns he later suggested it could keep operating if bought out by a u.s. firm well rob pegoraro is a freelance tech writer and joins us live via skype from arlington virginia rob good to have you with us so what do you make then of this ticked up deal i mean let's let's just break it down here oracle has no experience whatsoever of running
6:11 am
social media platforms it sells database software and technology so does this deal make any sense no i cannot understand what is motivating or put down this money to talk in what they hope to do with it the last time or had any sort of a consumer products when they bought sun microsystems they inherited organ called jobs which since found out we saw or are we in secure several years ago the consensus is i smoke security professionals was get this off your machine. this is not like company i. want to be running this year running tech talk it doesn't make any sense to me. and trump had threatened to ban tick-tock in the u.s. due to what he called national security concerns over user data being leaked to the chinese so how serious then is this perceived security threat in terms of data being given over to the chinese government. i don't think there's
6:12 am
a good case to be made there it is true the chinese government could be using. but on one hand the tick tock tick tock does not actually request a whole lot of data you look at remissions that question i os and android this is a pretty mild mannered app or 2 of the ones on the other hand if you wanted to say it the occasion data means there and you can just buy it in the data brokers and correcting that through other apps the threat is already out there in who owns as not a whole lot to do with that and that's an important point you make rob because cyber security experts say even though china's laws enable it to pressure companies like bite dance tick-tock parent company to give up user information they say there's no evidence that this has yet happened to date and of course as you say many american companies already have access to similar amounts of user data on other foreign made ups anyway yes meanwhile in looks like i guess
6:13 am
what helped oracle was the trumpet ministration seems to like there are a lot of. oracle c.e.o. larry ellison is one of the few. who has been an elite these yesterday backer of the trump administration were as microsoft as you know i guess not that much of a team player so to speak yet politics always does seem to creep in doesn't it just a final thought to you rob how much in terms of the bigger picture how much is the tick tock ban seen as part of a broader effort by the trump ministration to police its technology boundaries with china and could this oracle deal do you think redefine how the u.s. and china face off in the future over the reach and growth of their homegrown tech companies. yes secretary of state. wants this clean network plan which would essentially try to ensure that chinese companies are not for internet infrastructure are not in the critical path of american social media
6:14 am
internet commerce what have you so yes this is not the only act in this way rob pegoraro great to get your thoughts thank you for talking to al-jazeera thanks tom for a short break here al-jazeera when we come back jakarta reimpose a coronavirus lockdown as hospitals and graveyards are stretched to capacity. an epic effort from the new us open champion a comeback not seen for 70 years but in that same words. how i want to play say because signs of some wet weather coming into one of the pacific northwest of the u.s. we have got areas of cloud to starting to stream in and it will introduce somewhat
6:15 am

6:18 am
washington joins us live now from jakarta jessica so coronavirus instructions being reimposed in the capital tell us what's been happening there. so today we do see a return to the restrictions that we experienced early in the year until they were watered down in june what that means is many offices are closed or have limitations on capacity restaurants public sites all closed and all of this is part of an effort to combat the spread of the virus in the capital city this city has been on a troubling trajectory with the virus with hospital beds filling up and jakarta's governor described his decision to reimpose restrictions as pulling an emergency break before the situation gets out of control. this is the manifestation of how the pandemic became a crisis in the city the cemetery in jakarta is only for patients who died from covert 19 or was suspected of having it. the grave diggers are exhausted but the
6:19 am
bodies keep coming indonesia has more confirmed covered 19 deaths than anywhere else in the region or than $8000.00 people are reported to have died due to low testing rates the actual death toll could be much higher. we are taught we've been working like this for 6 months we have buried so many people still we have to do our job and it's not just these workers who are under strain this cemetery is a tragic representation of the impact of the pandemic here in indonesia and it's not just jakarta symmetries that a fost filling up at hospitals as well it's why dakota's governor says the city must once again go into lockdown before the situation spirals out of control in june jakarta began to ease restrictions to boost the economy reopening many businesses and offices at the time the government told al-jazeera he was confident the city's health care system could handle the pandemic months later he now warns
6:20 am

6:21 am
to address the pandemic but also need income for my children he didn't receive any government support during the last shutdown and it could be months before the sound reopens. in a city as diverse and populous as jakarta it seems there's no easy solution. one measure that comes into place from today is the enforcement of quarantine measures so what that means is that anyone who test positive for the virus in jakarta will no longer be allowed to isolate at home they will be taken to a government facility until they recover but of course what that actually looks like in practice remains to be seen all right to just go washington live for us there in the in the nation's capital jakarta jessica thank you israel's government has announced a 3 week nationwide lockdown in an attempt to stop the spread of coronavirus making it the 1st country to reimpose restrictions on a national scale prime minister binyamin netanyahu says the restrictions will come into force on friday it means israelis will have to stay within 500 meters of their
